Saying 88
- (88) Jesus said, "The angels and the prophets will come to you and give to you those things you (already) have. And you too, give them those things which you have, and say to yourselves, 'When will they come and take what is theirs?'"
The manner in which the Messiah had come was a mystery to angels and prophets. They knew the event would come, but could not discern how and when. The salvation of man was revealed in Christ through the apostles which caused the prophets and angels to marvel.

- Heb 11:40 God having provided some better thing for us, that they without us should not be made perfect.
- 1Pe 1:10 ΒΆ Of which salvation the prophets have enquired and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace that should come unto you:
- 1Pe 1:12 Unto whom it was revealed, that not unto themselves, but unto us they did minister the things, which are now reported unto you by them that have preached the gospel unto you with the Holy Ghost sent down from heaven; which things the angels desire to look into.
